Is anyone here ready to help the next President change and work to create an An America we can all be proud of?? Or are we just going to demean and reply with undingified responces to this fine man who is working everyday as hard as he can to help us all!

John Edwards is the only man who is REAL Presidentcial Material!!!!!!!

The US doesnt have "2 different Americas".... rather the largest capitalist-based middle class in the world. However, encouraging US socialism and communism would make the middle class broader.

Edwards inner voice..."If elected I will implement many more inefficient, beauracratic, useless government programs of welfare to keep you pleebs in your God forsaken poverty ridden lives because only I should live in 25000 sq ft mansion. There are 2 America's ...John Edwards get rich being an ambulance chasing trial lawyer america and people who actually work for a living america." John is a great name for him because all he spews is verbal excrement.

Where did you come up with $400 million dollars? So much for "truth".

[truthforamerica]

Just think! If Edwards had split his 400 million dollars to all these spectators, there would have been no poverty here either!

Great video! I hope everyone who sees this has the opportunity to see Mr. Edwards speak in person. He is awesome! Thanks to him for bringing issues that matter to the forefront. Hopefully I will be able to cast my vote for him as our next President.

I was present for this speech! I'm glad Edwards has taken the issue of poverty to heart and hope he can focus our national attention on it, however far his political campaign takes him. There are some amazing people and organizations trying to address poverty in our nation and they need the spotlight that Edwards can bring. If only the national media will stop harping on haircuts and fundraising and look at the real issues facing America, Edwards might move out of third place in the polling.

He'll be in my hometown, Prestonsburg KY in about an hour. I imagine this is something similar to what I'll hear. This is a great man!!
